Daily 5 - http://www.thedailycafe.com/public/department104.cfm

'The Daily 5â„¢ is more than a management system or a curriculum framework - it is a structure that helps students develop the daily habits of reading, writing, and working independently that will lead to a lifetime of literacy independence.'

I like the way this program offers student choice within the reading programme. The students complete 5 daily tasks and fill out a record sheet. It can be adapted
  • Work on Words
  • Read to Self
  • Read to Someone
  • Listen to Reading
  • Work on Writing

CAFE - reading strategies
  • Comprehension
  • Accuracy
  • Fluency
  • Expand Vocab
